Best of Miles to Memories 8/15/16/-8/21/16
Welcome to the weekly “Best of Miles to Memories” recap series. Here you will find links to all of the still relevant posts from the past week. This week was heavy on the Sapphire Reserve as I applied and was approved even though I made a huge mistake. We also learned of a very good Office Depot Visa gift card 5X opportunity.
To make the posts in this recap easier to wade through, my “Editor’s Picks” in each section are in bold. If you have questions about anything you read feel free to contact me anytime. Enjoy!
In Sapphire Reserve
I covered and confirmed a lot of information this past week regarding the Sapphire Reserve. We now know the full benefits of this premium card including lesser covered things like trip cancellation and purchase protection. I also covered how you can register for your car rental elite benefits and most importantly Priority Pass Select lounge membership.
